 1 2|        was nothing else than a battalion of Swiss is today, who have
 2 2|       what in ours signifies a Battalion. It is true that each one
 3 2|  Cohorts, I want to divide our Battalion into ten Companies, and
 4 2|       said we wanted to make a Battalion of six thousand men; therefore
 5 2|     general Head for the whole Battalion. I would want each Constable
 6 2|      Summarizing, therefore, a Battalion would be composed of ten
 7 2|      one Captain for the whole Battalion with its flag and Bugler.
 8 2|      to the ten companies in a Battalion, you add a thousand extraordinary
 9 2|     effective cavalry for each battalion, of which I would want one
10 2|      organized together with a battalion, can often be assembled
11 3|        another, they place one Battalion in front and another behind
12 3|    succor it. They put a third Battalion behind these, but distant
13 3|    have mentioned wanting in a Battalion two thousand pikes, which
14 3|     Romans. I have divided the Battalion into ten Companies, as the
15 3|        infantry there are in a Battalion, and that it has ten companies,
16 3|        that ten Companies of a Battalion should be placed on the
17 3|      in which I would deploy a Battalion on the left side, which
18 3|     but not a large and strong Battalion, as the Swiss do, which,
19 3|      have to know that a Swiss Battalion, if it were composed of
20 3|      to find the center of the Battalion stronger and not weaker,
21 3| companies, but with the entire Battalion. And as this last part has
22 3|      when retiring between one Battalion and the next, and that which
23 3|      what the number is of the Battalion placed on the left or right
24 3|     the general Captain of the Battalion; nor should anyone arrive
25 5|      and assign a part to each Battalion, also dividing the artillery
26 5|   devised as to which part one Battalion makes up, and which part
27 5|         I would have the first Battalion place its first five companies
28 5|        companies of the second Battalion then should be placed on
29 6|     cavalry effective for each Battalion, and I have divided them
30 6|        hundred cavalry of each battalion with their heads in thirty
31 6|        and Veliti, which every battalion has; which you know, according
32 6|       you would have to have a battalion of auxiliaries move, and
33 6|      one of them assigned to a battalion, so that when the army moved,
